Activating and Deactivating Feature Services

You activate and deactivate feature services in the Service Activation window in Cisco Unified Serviceability. Services that display in the Service Activation window do not start until you activate them.

Cisco Unified Serviceability allows you to activate and deactivate only features services (not network services). You may activate or deactivate as many services as you want at the same time. Some feature services depend on other services, and the dependent services get activated before the feature service activates.

To activate or deactivate feature services in Cisco Unified Serviceability, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Tools > Service Activation.

The Service Activation window displays.

Step 2 From the Server drop-down list box, choose the server where you want to activate the service; then, click Go.

For the server that you chose, the window displays the service names and the activation status of the services.

Step 3 To activate all services in the Service Activation window, check the Check All Services check box.

Step 4 You can choose all services that are required to run on a single server by clicking the Set Default button. This action not only chooses all required services but also checks for service dependencies. To activate services for a single-server configuration, click the Set Default button or activate the services that you want to use.

Step 5 After you check the check boxes for the services that you want to activate, click Save.

Tip To deactivate services that you activated, uncheck the check boxes next to the services that you want to deactivate; then, click Save.

To obtain the latest status of the services, click the Refresh button.

Using a Command Line Interface to Start and Stop Services

You can start and stop some services through the Command Line Interface (CLI). For a list of services that you can start and stop through the CLI and for information on how to perform these tasks, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.

Tip You must start and stop most services from Control Center in Cisco Unified Serviceability.
